About this image

Aklim stands as the highest mountain summit in the Anti-Atlas range, reaching an elevation of 2530m.

Located approximately 6 miles from my remote site, I carefully awaited for the right moment when Venus had just emerged beyond the mountain's silhouette, at an elevation of 4° above horizon.

Wish you all a happy 2024 and many clear skies.
